2026-06-09·Builds
Key Takeaways
- Rush O2 Tank upgrades before anything else. Gear Tier 0 with O2 Mk3 beats Gear Tier 3 with O2 Mk1. Oxygen is your true health bar.
- The 'Miner' accessory set (Scanner Boost + Lucky Pick + Ore Pouch) gives 40% more resources per expedition. Switch to 'Combat' set only for boss fights.
- Dark Matter gear is 2x better than Titanium but requires Void Titan kill. Most players finish the game with Titanium gear.

FAQ
Q: Titanium or Diamond armor first?
A: Diamond Armor + O2 Mk3, then Titanium Pickaxe, then Titanium Armor. Armor is the lowest priority — oxygen and mining speed matter more.
Q: Is Dark Matter gear worth the grind?
A: For completion. You can beat all content with Titanium gear. Dark Matter makes the post-game Abyss trivial.
